Today we're bringing you a recast of a great podcast we did with an intriguing guest - Mr. Charlie Kimball who drives an Indy Car for a living (he placed 3rd in this year's Indy 500 in fact!). Uniquely, Charlie is the only driver at an elite level who is also a Type 1 Diabetic. Charlie's story is inspirational and an example of how high performance athletes often have to overcome many hurdles to participate.

Today is the first video and audio-only rebroadcast from the 2014 Huffines Discussion. Up today in our series is the award-winning science- and sports-journalist from FiveThirtyEight.com, Ms. Christie Aschwanden. Ms. Aschwanden's talk is titled "What Beer and Running Taught Me About Science". This is a great talk and may make you think a bit more about the science your read.

We have Coach Mark Hadley and marathoner Alana Hadley with us in the podcast today. Alana is the youngest marathoner to qualify for the American Trials in over 20 years and has set several national records in her age group. We talk today about how elite marathoners are trained and what is the future for American marathoning! Enjoy!

We are pleased to have Dr. Samuel Cheuvront from the United States Army Research Institute for Environmental Medicine in the podcast today. Dr. Cheuvront is a noted expert on hydration during exercise and was one of the principle authors of the military's policies on hydration for our soldiers. And just because it is getting cooler doesn't mean that we shouldn't worry about hydration.

This is the audio-only podcast of the 2012 Huffines Discussion Talks. This week's 2012 Huffines Discussion Scholar is Dr. Michael Davis from Oklahoma State University. Dr. Davis is a renowned expert on performance and fatigue and continues to do great work using sled dogs to find information that can help humans exercise longer. Dr. Davis' talk is titled "The Art and Science of Fatigue - Proof" .

The London Olympics is just around the corner and of course, and with all of the performances and stories that will happen there, David Epstein from Sports Illustrated is with us today to give us a heads-up as to what he thinks will be the intriguing stories of these Olympics. Mr. Epstein has been with us for previous podcasts (video here, here, here, and here!) and I appreciate his '30,000 foot' view of sports and the interesting stories in sports medicine.
